About

I love to collect minerals. I really love beautiful crystals. I am also very fascinated with rare species, and even rock types, from various important localities. I have a large self collected collection, as well as specimens obtained from buying minerals and even entire collections. I collect books and ephemera and all sorts of geo literature. I have been a mineral dealer, have started a popular mineral collectors’ club that is still going. Have been a newsletter editor for this and another club. I have traded specimens all over the world.

I want to hear of your experiences! Especially field trips, and photos of places, and specimens, and maps, and finds. Please post here! I will share and welcome others to do so. If you are interested in an interview for a podcast, or have a video, or would like to contact me, please do so through the post area. I will get back with you.

  1. Hi,

    My name is Rachel Madison and I’m the community news editor for the Tooele Transcript-Bulletin. I came across your blog and thought it was really interesting. Do you live in Tooele County? If you do, and if my editor is OK with it, I may want to do a story on you and your blog. Let me know. Thank you!

    Rachel

    Hi,

    I couldn’t find your name on your site. My name is Devon Buy and I have been collecting minerals and crystals for a while now. Unfortunately, these are hard to come by where I live, and I’m left with having to buy them online from around the world.

    I have just recently published my collection on my blog at http://www.devonbuy.com/crystal-and-mineral-collection/. Hopefully you’ll find it interesting. Do drop me a comment there! It’s certainly nice to connect with other collectors from other parts of the world.

    Take care and have fun!

      Yes. About all I get from others is spam. If you have anything to say or tell about, please do so! Send photos, field trip reports, etc!
